A medical report read to the inquest said Mr Lewis had been diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder in the past, as well as OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), but refused to engage with doctors.

Mrs Stockdale said her son kept relatively fit by doing a lot of walking but said he "would not go near a dentist or a doctor".

She added he was especially distrustful of men, given what had happened to him.

Andrew Bradley, coroner for north east Hampshire, recorded a verdict of suicide.

He said to Mrs Stockdale: "My sympathy to you. It is a matter of great sadness."
